Baghdad (NINA) - Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki said "we were able to put the premises of state-building, and we are moving towards the construction, reconstruction, providing services and stability."

Media office of Maliki quoted him as saying, during his attendance to the Tribal Support Councils Conference in Baghdad on Tuesday, "we will not be victims of some politicians who do not see anything but themselves only at the expense of the people's interest. We will build and reconstruct despite their putting hurdles on the reconstruction rout, and in cooperation with real partners who believe in Iraq and the efforts of tribal and civil society organizations."

Responding to those who underestimate what has been achieved in the national reconciliation area, Maliki said "I tell them that reconciliation is clear from this great gathering and the solid base which counts on the political process, and through what has been done by your hands, and the efforts made by the Ministry of State for National Reconciliation and the Support Councils and the tribal sheikhs, is really great.

He continued "unfortunately, we find someone that demands the release of perpetrators of crimes against the people, they do not denounce their crimes, and do not stand with the families of the martyrs and do not sympathize with them. What they do is agitating people about specific issues rather than demanding the execution of these criminals, as we find some who have committed crimes are affiliated to some officials in the state."

He pointed out that "some are deliberately disabling the state projects so that they could say that the government has not achieved, and there are those who want to bring back the sedition again by saying that the political process stands on the brink of a serious stage. The fact is that all are equal under the roof of service, all are one in front of responsibility, and you will see on TV screens what has been achieved, so that the people will evaluate the performance of the government.” /End/

Iraq’s National Reconciliation Minister Amer Al Khizaii announced that all political factions have laid down weapons in exception for Baath Party and Al Qaeda which only some members disarmed.

The disarmament did not only cover the armed factions, Al Khizaii affirmed that a number of tribes laid down weapons while others will disarm during the coming weeks, a source told Alsumaria.

Iraq’s National reconciliation minister criticized the formation of the national strategic policy council which he believes is a mine in the political process.

Armed factions’ disarmament comes in light of security deterioration and ongoing violations. Observers wonder about the efficiency of achieving reconciliation with factions that don’t seem to be influential on the Iraqi scene.

Iraqiya leader Iyad Allawi affirmed that the party does not plan to withdraw from the political process, a source told Alsumaria.

Al Iraqiya is cooperating with the different parties to reach a decent future by building up the State and institutions and enhancing brotherhood among Iraqis, Allawi said.

Al Iraqiya has adopted peaceful power transfer transparently and with full conviction. It has started to implement national reconciliation and rebuild the State’s institutions on professional grounds away from political and sectarian apportionment, he noted.

Allawi stressed that Al Iraqiya has ceded its electoral, democratic and constitutional achievement to give way for an effective national partnership government that would take over this transitional period until Iraq reaches full democracy.

Iraqiya leader urged to overcome complications and called to enhance national partnership and strive for its implementation and for the execution of Barazani’s initiative for the sake of the Iraqi people.

The most important thing a minister or an official can offer in service of the people, is to follow up his work in the field.

Starting today, meetings will be held in front of the people. Discussions will cover all fields one by one. We will go over three headlines or three ministers. We must realize the framework upon which we will carry on with the second 100 day deadline, Maliki said.

Cabinet spokesman Ali Al Dabbagh on the other hand announced that the 100 day deadline will not be extended. This deadline has triggered political action in the country, he concluded.
